BofA’s Ken Lewis: Knockdown #1

Shareholders voted to split the duties of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and named Walter E. Massey as the new chairman. The bank officially expressed “unanimous support” for Lewis to continue as CEO, and in a separate vote shareholders re-elected all 18 directors by a “comfortable margin,” according to spokesman James Mahoney. How “comfortable” remains to be known.

Bloomberg’s early read on what we know so far:”The vote may cast doubt on how long Lewis, 62, will remain at the bank he’s led since 2001.”
